Aquarium loses iconic lobster

Big Dee-Dee, the 22 lb. lobster that made headlines around the world when he was caught and then donated to the Huntsman Marine Science Centre, has died.

The crustacean, thought to be around 40 years old, was at the Fundy Discovery Aquarium for four years after being given to the centre by a fish store in Shediac that was inundated with offers for the lobster from those wanting to set him free and others intent on a large meal. His story made the headlines in Australia, China and across North America.
